Description: Okay, so the Tolovana Inn is a big hotel on the beach (about 3 miles south of Cannon Beach), but it’s an institution that still provides luxury and service, the kind that makes life easy on you. Several nearby restaurants will deliver. If you don’t want to amble down to Cannon Beach yourself, you can take the free city shuttle, which stops right at the inn. You’ll also have privileges at the Cannon Beach Athletic Club. The rooms are very nice, in that big-hotel way. Besides televisions, DVD players, gas fireplaces, and kitchens, the Tolovana Inn also has an on-site masseuse, free morning coffee and newspapers, high-speed, wireless connectivity, and conference facilities, including a room with a 48-inch television screen so you can show home videos to all the relatives at the family reunion. They might flee to the indoor pool or the game room, however, and who could blame them? For once, the dog can come.
